Excerpt from The Use Book: Regulations and Instructions for the Use of the National Forest Reserves The timber, water, pasture, mineral, and other resources of the forest reserves are for the use of the people. They may be obtained under reasonable conditions without delay. Legitimate improvements and business enterprises are encouraged. Forest reserves are open to all persons for all lawful purposes. Persons who wish to make any use of the resources of a forest reserve for which a permit is required should consult the nearest forest officer. Ten percent of all receipts from forest reserves are given to the counties in which they lie, to be used for schools and roads. No one but the Special Fiscal Agent, Forest Service, Washington, D. C., is authorized to receive payments for the use of the forest reserves. Payments must be in the form of postal or express money orders or national-bank drafts on New York City. Other forms of drafts, checks, certified checks, or postage stamps will not be accepted. (Reg. 7, p. 29.) Complaints should be made in writing, both to the immediate superior of the officer complained against and to the Forester, at Washington. Every user of a forest reserve will be held responsible for knowing the regulations and obeying them. Throughout this book general information and directions are printed in this type. Regulations are printed in this type. Special instructions to forest officers are printed in this type. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
